Don Looney (father of Joe Don). 58 receptions for 707 yards, both league-leading figures, in 1940; 17 for 245 in 1941 and '42 combined.

Any event during the game I randomly remembered the NFL’s Greatest Game production on what was called Super Bowl 8.5
Shouldn't that be Super Bowl VIII.V?

Re: 3 years with 10 or more interceptions?

Yes, Don Doll's the one. Along with his anonymity, another funny thing about him is that he totaled 33 interceptions in his three double-digit seasons, and got 5 more in his final season, but in his third and fourth years in the league he picked off a total of three passes, even though he apparently...

3 years with 10 or more interceptions?

If this isn't right, I'm sure somebody here will let me know, but I believe there's only one player in NFL history who reached double figures in interceptions in three separate seasons -- one defensive player, that is. Rather than just give his name, I thought I'd present it as a question: Who was t...

Re: NFL Throwback List of 100 Greatest Quarterbacks of All Time

I truly don't believe Blanda is a HOF player, but I understand and can accept him being elected. Maybe as a QB, he is more around the 100-110 mark but definitely not on a worst list unless its around 140 QBs. Sure, I think that's a fair assessment. I don't mind him being in the Hall of Fame at all,...

Re: NFL Throwback List of 100 Greatest Quarterbacks of All Time

I believe with a list of the worst QBs, you have to first look at the QBs who were drafted much higher, with expectations or projections of success, rather than guys struggling to make a team or get a rare chance to start. Yes, a Nathan Peterman could be terrible playing in a rare start, but also w...

Re: NFL Throwback List of 100 Greatest Quarterbacks of All Time

An NFL Throwback List of 100 Worst Quaterbacks of All-Time would be worth digging into ... The Bears have three of them themselves. That kind of thing can be fun, but it's harder to do than picking the best, because the worst quarterbacks were probably all cut in training camp. Or if they made a te...

That's the one I thought of too. Not sure about this, but I think the Redskins also sent somebody like Claude Crabb to the Eagles as part of the deal.

Re: Question on the 1967 Oakland Raiders

Hello: I see the 1967 Oakland Raiders recorded 67 sacks for 655 yards. It still may be a record number of sacks in a fourteen-game season. Does anyone know where the 655 yards in sack yardage stands entering 2026? Is it close to being the record? Just at a glance, 655 seems too high, doesn't it? Th...
